A great Rustenburg weekend needs two things: somewhere comfortable to come back to, and a plan for what to do in between.
This Friday-to-Sunday guide uses TshiBerry Bed & Breakfast as your base in Phokeng and maps out a full weekend of safari, entertainment, and local culture around it, so you can spend less time planning and more time enjoying it. Get a feel for the setting in our photo gallery before you go.
Friday: Arrive and Settle In
Start your weekend by checking in and getting comfortable. Book one of our rooms at TshiBerry and take the rest of the afternoon slow, whether that’s a swim in the pool, a wander through the gardens, or an in-room treatment at BonBerry Royal Spa.
Each room is fitted with air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, and a Nespresso machine, so there’s little reason to rush out on your first evening. In the evening, head to MmaBerry Bar & Lounge on-site for authentic Batswana dishes and a relaxed first night before the adventure begins.
Saturday: Wildlife Safari and Sun City Fun
Saturday is your big day out. Rise early for a game drive at Pilanesberg National Park, home to the Big Five and managed by the North West Parks and Tourism Board. TshiBerry’s location makes this easy; read more about our accommodation near Pilanesberg National Park if wildlife is the main draw of your trip. In the afternoon, swap the bushveld for entertainment: TshiBerry is just a short drive from Sun City, where the Valley of Waves and the Maze of the Lost City at Sun City Resort make for a fun change of pace.
Back at TshiBerry that evening, unwind with our on-site facilities, from the pool to another spa treatment, before dinner and an early night.
Sunday: Local Culture and Easy Adventures
Ease into your last day with something closer to home. Kgaswane Mountain Reserve is a good option for a morning walk, or spend the morning browsing Phokeng Mall for souvenirs and a coffee before your journey home.
If you’re travelling with family, our roundup of family-friendly attractions in and around Rustenburg is worth a look before you decide how to spend your last few hours. Check out at your own pace, and take the scenic route home.
Plan Your Own Rustenburg Weekend
This itinerary is a starting point, not a fixed plan. If you have an extra day or want to swap something out, our full guide to places to visit while staying in Rustenburg and our roundup of more things to do while staying at TshiBerry both cover further options, from historical sites to local markets.
Wherever you fill the gaps, TshiBerry gives you a comfortable, central base to plan the rest of your weekend around.
